Trump: Obama looks 'ridiculous' in Cuba amid Brussels
Hill ^ | 3/22/16 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 03/22/2016 9:27:56 AM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday argued that President Obama appeared "ridiculous" speaking in Cuba in the wake of terrorist attacks in Belgium.

"President Obama looks and sounds so ridiculous making his speech in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. He is being treated badly!" Trump tweeted.

Others on social media noted that Obama's remarks in Cuba were played on a split screen with the immediate aftermath of violence in Brussels.

The coordinated attacks early Tuesday morning in Brussels left at least 34 people dead and dozens more injured after a string of blasts at an airport and near a metro station.

Obama addressed the attacks in Brussels at the beginning of his remarks to Cuban leaders, where he emphasized a need to focus on protecting human rights. “This is yet another reminder the world must unite. We must be together, regardless of nationality or race or faith, in fighting against the scourge of terrorism,” Obama said.

Obama condemned the violence, saying the U.S. would do "whatever is necessary" to bring justice to those behind the "outrageous attacks" in Europe.

The president also phoned Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to offer condolences and offer U.S. assistance in the investigation, according to the White House.

Still, some Republicans, including Trump's presidential rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich, called for the president to cut short his historic trip to Cuba to return to the United States in the wake of the attack.

I thought the same thing. The whole family going to Cuba. I was thinking we would get attacked.

“Somebody should teach Obama how to stand up straight.”

I wonder how long it will Raul to wipe all of Obama’s lipstick off his a$$.

I heard the beginning of that “speech” and couldn't believe how quickly he got away from the terrorist attack on Brussels.

My wife saw it and remarked on exactly the same thing.

Indeed Obama does look ridiculous. Would anyone be surprised if one or more of the bombers were a Syrian “refugee?”

"Trump: Obama looks 'ridiculous' in Cuba amid Brussels"

Comrade obama has no need of Cuba to look "ridiculous" as he presents that appearance any time he tries to make foreign policy. By now it's inconceivable that there exists even one foreign leader that still does not recognize the affirmative action buffoon in the Kenyan mongrel.
